Super-/Turbocharging
I started searching for turbo- and supercharging-kit some days ago,and it seems like i find some new kits every day... 
Is it possible to put together a list of kits/companies that sell these kits for our cars??
I am sure a lot of owners will appreciate this list

What region of the country are you in? Go to those regional boards and ask around. We have several good vendors plus others that have done great jobs for several of us.

well i have a bit of a strange idea for you guys. how about runing both a turbo and a superchargher?!?!??!!? i recon it can be done. spoke to a mechanical enginer that i know (my dad) who has worked on/desiged everything from BIG hydrolic compresors and pumps for the coal industry, to designing the jeys turbines for the RB211 (as used in the 747). he says that they was multi stage pumps all the time to get MONSTER psi.
so how about this. fab a rear mount turbo, something really big (id say GT42 with a big housing and 900bhp potential), and then run that through an intercooler at the front and then into a Mag superchrager!
so the supercharger acts as normal providing boost at low rpm, then as the turbo kicks in it starts to provied the Mag with compressed air, now if the theiory works the mag will just do the same amout of work on the compressed air. this will give you boost all the time and result in a very drivable motor!
sorry to hyjack the thread a little but its bin bugging me all weekend
thanks Chris.

IMO after 800rwhp in a 3200 lb car it is time to admit that we have a problem and maybe start thinking about counseling (or at least a dedicated drag car)
or then again maybe I'm the one that needs counseling for horsepower envie?
More Than Zero
PS now where did I put that counselors number?

This has been done for a long time ago on a Lancia rallycar. I have the magazine with the description somewhere. This was made from the factory with a LOT of valves and tubes. There is also a guy with a Opel Manta A with a Volvo 2,5litre engine in Sweden who has buildt a setup like that all by himself. This was this summer... It was on the front cover of a magazine called Bilsport (nr 16,2004). He uses a Eaton-charger that deliver 11,5psi at idle,while a GT40 turbo takes over and charge with 26psi at the most.
www.hilmersson-racing.com
BUT, This is a bit to complicated for most people.
I am looking for a kit. I have buildt several complete turboconversions in the past but i haven`t got the time to get the finish i would like to have in a C5. Besides,there`s no reason to invent the wheel several times (as long as you got the money to spend)
Actually i have got more info about kits for C5 in 3si.org (wich is a Stealth/GT3000 forum) than i have got in this thread,
So keep comming with suggestions

OK OK. i knew i would get some flack for this.
first off, i know that on a vette it would be stupid! to much power and far to accessable (no lag), but what if you could huck up the Skyline 4wd and run loads of down force........... 
second, the idea i had was to reduce the amout of piping requierd and to do away with the vavles needed in the S4's Group B engine. that car did drive incredably well though for a 80s rally car. no lag and even the road version was a breae to drive. just a shame the develipment could not have gone further thanks to their retieremnt from group B. also there are a few prople over ehre in the UK running the supercharger and turbo setups, but on smaller engiens and not like i have outlined.
still be nice to see one done, just to prove it could be of course
thanks Chris.
PS. nice idea to run the N2O, didnt think of that, would just be to cool the intake of cousre hehehe.

500 rear wheel horsepower - everyday reliability, smooth idle..
Only $18,995.00 ....need we say more? (quote from their web-site)
A bit expensive in my opinion. offcourse there is more to it than just a tt-kit.

be nice if someone could do a rear mount on the C5 (if they arn't already). these things are nice and simple and still give very nice power out puts. the F-body boys are getting around 500rwbhp so with a cooler and a little more boost, who knows.
thanks Chris.
PS, sorry for being a bit of a T**T before, just need to vent some of the ideas i had. hope it all goes well and keep us posted.

M T O, dont forget that if the turbo was only cappable of 1Kbhp then the suppercharger would not give you any more! so with a GT42 you could end up with a 900bhp car that was as drivable as a 500bhp car with a Mag on there.
then you would add the N2O!!!!
so that would be a 1150bhp car that drove like stock!
